 11 SOUTH AUDLEY STREET, W. June 26th 1916 My dear Henry I intended writing a line to ask your acceptance of my bags and my own photograph but like the "Dhobies dog" I have been running from town to country! I hope you hear good accounts from your two gallant Sons & wonder where the 8th Hussars are serving. I hope to quote the language of old Blemis, the Irish Settlement is presenting a fine "Protestant" appearance but like the subject is not a matter to be dealt with in a few words. We shall be in London till the begin the latter end of next month and if there is any chance of our being in these parts in the Mean season Hope we may have the pleasure of seeing you. My wife, & in Kinder Remembrance to Mrs Armstrong & your daughters, as I am at work at Hospital Clothing and appliances and am engaged in the New Forest Local Tribunal. Hoping you are all well Yours Ever H A Bushman LONDON.
